Vitamin B when buying a house

Hello everyone,

we have been toying with the idea of buying a house for a while now and of course we are also gathering information from friends and acquaintances who have already built or bought. Time and again/often we hear that especially existing properties are quickly sold "under the table" and don't even make it onto the well-known portals. This of course reduces the chance of getting a good house, which might also be a bargain.

Do you know of any possibilities or do you have any ideas on how to get access to these "internal information"? It can't always just be a coincidence that someone knows someone who knows someone whose acquaintance is selling a house, right?

When it comes to existing properties, you can rely on the brokers, especially the brokers affiliated with or owned by banks sometimes have a slight advantage. The bank broker sold my apartment to a bank client whom he knew was looking. It never went on the market ...

I would do that too. Hang onto the usual brokers

... but please do not hope that you are getting a bargain. That hardly exists anymore nowadays.

I agree with that. Good and at the same time affordable houses are hardly to be found anymore. In our area, only overpriced "junk" is still on the market.

Ha, on the contrary, that probably costs extra
